Dreamed I was a tidal wave

I ravaged your coast

There were no survivors

I showed you place

when you had lovers

If I was a vampire

I wouldn't suck your blood

Then I dreamed I was you

Sweetest dream I have had
Chorus:
Bb F
If you could hear the

dreams I've had my dear

nightmares for a wee

But you're not here

and I can never sleep

Come home so I

can be a creep

I stole you away

away in your sleep

Saved you from a fire

A gun for hire

I introduced you to a vampire
F Dm
A wave crashed on the beach

We rolled around

in its foamy grasp
F
Kissing in the chaos
Dm
of a kelpy sea
Gm
Seems I couldn't
F Eb
save you from me
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge:
Bb Gm
Maybe I'm obsessive
F Eb
to think like this
Bb Cm
Probably not impressing you
F Eb
with my cheap tricks

Honey it's depressing what

depression does to some
Bb Cm
I'll play the part for hours
Gm F Eb
But I know you'll never come
(Repeat Chorus)
